The 2012 Bears are beginning to resemble the 1985 Bears, at least off the field.

With quarterback Jay Cutler set to begin doing a weekly radio show starting Monday, his primary receiver Brandon Marshall has signed on to be a regular contributor on for WMAQ-Channel 5. Marshall will appear on the station’s Sports Sunday show, which airs at approximately 10:50 p.m. after the NBC Sunday Night Football Game and NBC 5 News Sunday.

The announcement was made by the station Thursday.

“Brandon is a player that Chicago fans are really going to embrace — a terrific personality,” Andrew Stroth, the Chicago-based attorney who represented Marshall in the deal, told the Tribune.

Through his TV appearances, Marshall also intends to expand the scope of his Project Borderline, a nonprofit organization devoted to raising awareness for borderline personality disorder, a malady that he has been struggling with for several years.

“We think Brandon will have a dynamic impact on the field and will bring interesting insight to our viewers. He and his wife Michi are looking to connect with the Chicago community as well.” station president/general manager Larry Wert said in a statement.
